        In this article carbon quantum dots (Cdots) were prepared by a facile, green, economical hydrothermal method of the mixed deionized water and lemon juice. Optical and structural properties of the Cdots have been extensively studied by UV–visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, and high resolution TEM (HR-TEM). Surface functionality of Cdots has been illustrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The fabricated Cdots emit bright green light with broad spectrum. The Cdots exhibit captivating sensitivity and selectivity toward Fe3+ with a linear range from 0 to 80 ppm and a detection limit of 38.08 ppm.

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as a rising star of carbon nanomaterials have extensive applications due to their excellent characteristics. In this work, we introduce a simple and green method to prepare nitrogen-doped lignin carbon quantum dots (N-L-CQDs) by using alkali lignin carbon sources and deep eutectic solvent (DES) as solution and nitrogen source. The physiochemical characterization results suggested that N-L-CQDs with diameters ranging from 4 to 12 nm were successfully synthesized. The optical properties data indicated that the as-prepared N-L-CQDs with a quantum yield of 7.95% exhibited excellent optoelectronic properties, excitation-dependent and pH stability. After that, we have investigated the N-L-CQDs used as fluorescent probes to detect iron ions, which suggested that the as-prepared N-L-CQDs exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity for Fe3+ with a detection limit of 0.44 μM. Besides, cytotoxicity of N-L-CQDs was also evaluated by MTT assay. These results demonstrated that the as-prepared N-L-CQDs with excellent properties have potential applications in environment and biomedicine.

Two-color emission phosphors BaGd2(MoO4)4: Eu3+, Er3+, Yb3+ have been synthesized by the high temperature solid-state method. The as-prepared BaGd2(MoO4)4: Eu3+, Er3+, Yb3+ phosphors can emit intense red light under 395 nm UV excitation, while it will show bright green light upon 980 nm infrared light excitation. It is found that the red emission peaks at 595 and 614 nm should be attributed to 5D0-7F1 and 5D0-7F2 transitions of Eu3+, respectively. The green emission peaks centered at 532 and 553 nm under 980 nm excitation, are attributed to Er3+ transitions from 4H11/2 -4I15/2 and 4S3/2-4I15/2, respectively.

In this work, we have developed a simple method for preparation of silver nanoparticles/graphene quantum dots hybrid (AgNPs/GQDs) using graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as reducing reagent and stabilizer. The synthesized GQDs and AgNPs/GQDs hybrid have been characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), photoluminescence (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results indicated that mono-dispersed AgNPs were obtained with particles size around 30 nm. Based on the etching of silver nanoparticles by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), we have constructed a colorimetric sensor for H2O2 and glucose sensors basing on the use of AgNPs/GQDs hybrid as capture probe and signal probe. The fabricated sensors performed excellent sensitivity and selectivity, high reproducibility for H2O2 and glucose detection with a low detection limit of 100 nM and 0.1 mM for hydrogen peroxide and glucose, respectively.

Highly luminescent carbon dots (C-dots) were synthesized by the one-pot simple hydrothermal method directly from lemon juice using different temperatures, time, aging of precursors, and diluted solvents to control the luminescence of C‐dots. The obtained C-dots were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and photoluminescent spectrophotometry. The results show that C‐dots had strong green light emission with quantum yield in the range of 14.86 to 24.89% as a function of hydrothermal temperatures. Furthermore, light emission that is dependent on hydrothermal time, aging of precursor, and diluted solvent was observed. These results suggest that the C‐dots have potential application in optoelectronics and bioimaging.
